On Sunset Drive in Livermore, this exquisitely reimagined modern craftsman with refined farmhouse influence was masterfully redesigned in 2018 by acclaimed South Bay/East Bay designer Brian Ganz. Rebuilt to the studs with permits and thoughtfully expanded into a 3-bedroom, 2-bath plan, the interiors are bright and composed, with abundant natural light, skylights, and sun tunnels, plus plantation shutters and elegant oak-style flooring. The designer kitchen serves as the home’s centerpiece, featuring bespoke cabinetry, a farmhouse sink, premium stainless appliances, a freestanding Italian range, a custom knotty alder island, and a built-in wine feature. Spa-inspired baths add custom tilework and designer vanities. Behind the scenes, upgrades include new electrical, plumbing, windows, roof, HVAC, and full insulation. Board-and-batten siding, stacked-stone accents, curated landscaping, and 2026 improvements—new concrete driveway, patio, expansive lawn, irrigation, drainage, and fresh finishes—complete an easy, design-forward daily rhythm.
